Chapter 545 Extra Thank You Banquet (2)
"Snapped--!"
The agarwood cane hit Xie Chong hard on his back, making a dull sound.
The old lady became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her silver hair trembling slightly with anger, and she swung the cane in her hand faster and harder.
"Snapped--!"
"You bastard! You're so rude even though your granddaughter-in-law is already here!"
"If you dare to scare my granddaughter-in-law away, I'll beat you up..."
After saying that, another stick came down. Xie Chong gasped in pain, but did not dare to move a step.
“Mother, please calm down…” He shrank his neck and begged for mercy with his teeth bared. “Mother, please calm down… I know I was wrong… Please be careful not to get angry…”
"That brat is still here, please at least give me some face..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady gave him a few more blows with the cane and said sternly, "Who are you calling a brat?"
"I...speaking of myself..." Xie Chong had no choice but to admit defeat.
The marquis' wife, standing by, covered her mouth and chuckled, then hurried over to help Xie Zhiyan, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Ayan, get up quickly..."
Old Madam Xie also stopped what she was doing. Her face, which was full of anger, was immediately filled with a loving smile when she turned around and looked at her grandson Xie Zhiyan. She was completely different from the ruthless and decisive person she was when she beat her son Xie Chong just now.
She took Xie Zhiyan's arm and examined his injuries. Suddenly, she frowned and said to the old nanny beside her, "Quick, call the palace doctor."
"Grandma!" Xie Zhiyan stopped her, "My grandson has thick skin and flesh, so this injury is nothing."
"Just go back and apply some medicine later."
"Right now, there are more pressing matters..."
Mrs. Xie understood instantly and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay..."
"Yan'er, is that girl still at home?"
"Could you bring it here so we can have a look?"
Xie Zhiyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a gentle smile spread across his face unconsciously: "Grandma, don't worry..."
"My grandson acted recklessly today and frightened the little girl."
"She has a soft personality and is thin-skinned. You'll have to be more restrained when you see her later."
"Oh, good, good..." Old Madam Xie smiled so hard that her teeth were visible, her face filled with joy. "Don't worry, Yan'er, grandma will definitely restrain herself."
"Go quickly and bring the person here..."
At this time, Xie Chong snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Is the girl willing to marry you?"
"You little bastard!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Bah, you have a bad mouth!" Old Madam Xie raised her cane and made a gesture to hit him.
Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Father, if you have the time to worry about these things, you might as well worry more about your son's marriage..."
Hearing about the word "marriage," Xie Chong calmed down a bit and asked seriously, "When are you planning to get married? Have you chosen a date?"
The smile on Xie Zhiyan's lips widened, and he said carefreely, "If father is fast enough, your son can enter the bridal chamber tonight..."
Xie Chong was startled for a moment, then reacted and picked up the whip on the table and was about to swing it, but when he met Madam Xie's stern warning eyes, he silently put it down.
He cursed angrily, "You little bastard! Are you kidding me? Are you serious?"
Xie Zhiyan smiled, his face dignified and his smile casual and carefree: "Son, I'm not joking."
"I want to marry her into the mansion within seven days at the latest."
"Father, please hurry up..."
After saying that, Xie Zhiyan took his leave and walked out.
The few people present were left stunned and looked at each other.
So anxious? ! !
Xie Chong shouted in astonishment at Xie Zhiyan's back, "What did you say? Seven days?!"
"Three books and six ceremonies, what can you do in seven days?"
Mrs. Xie, standing by, was all smiles. She threw her cane heavily to the ground and laughed, "Okay, Ah Yan said seven days, so it's seven days!"
"Send more people from the palace now and prepare to go down quickly..."
......
Xie Zhiyan hurried back to his courtyard. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Jiang Wantang, who had changed her clothes and was sitting obediently in the room waiting for him.
Perhaps she was too bored, so she lay on the table, playing with the jade cups on the table with her fingertips.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiyan's eyes warmed and he walked towards her.
Jiang Wantang heard the noise and looked up into a pair of eyes filled with smiles.
Xie Zhiyan leaned over to look at her and asked with a smile, "How about it, Miss Jiang, have you thought about it?"
The man's gentle eyes, full of smiles, seemed to see through everything...
But it also carries an indescribable warmth and attachment.
Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment.
Admittedly, she couldn't fully trust him yet.
Unfortunately, he gave too much...
A fish that has been out of water for too long will want to hold on to even the smallest drop of water. It doesn't care where the water comes from or whether it's clean or not. It just wants to survive...
Water is to fish as home is to Jiang Wantang.
If you have it, you can...
What's more, what Xie Zhiyan gave her was not just a drop of water, but an oasis.
She won't suffer any loss anyway.
Why not give yourself a chance to start over?
No one does not yearn for warmth and light, especially those like her who have been struggling in darkness.
Just give it a try...
Anyway, this cheap husband came to me voluntarily, for free, so why not refuse him?
At worst, I can pretend for a year, then take the money and run away.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang stood up with a smile, and a bright and cunning smile appeared in her watery and clear peach blossom eyes.
She said: "The capital is very prosperous, I like it very much."
"Thank you, sir. You must remember what you said. After one year, if I don't want to, you can divorce me and set me free."
Xie Zhiyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and there were stars in his eyes like stars in the sky.
Silly fox, the marriage contract is just a retreat-to-advance strategy...
Once you enter my Yong'an Marquis Mansion, you will be my Xie Zhiyan's person for the rest of your life.
So, he smiled and said, "Okay, deal."
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Jiang Wantang.
Jiang Wantang understood and put his hand on it.
Xie Zhiyan smiled and held her little hand, not daring to use force for fear of being too abrupt.
The two of them are considered to have reached a contract.
Jiang Wantang noticed the whip marks on his arm and asked in surprise, "How did you get hurt?"
Xie Zhiyan's lips curled slightly, but his face was frowned, as if in pain: "It's okay, my father blamed me for forcibly abducting you into the mansion and punished you according to family rules."
"Will you take medicine?"
Jiang Wantang nodded.
Xie Zhiyan smiled and took out bottles and jars of medicine from the inner room and placed them on the table: "Thank you for your help, Miss Jiang..."
After saying this, he turned around, raised his hand and ripped open his clothes. The dark brocade robe slid down along the shoulder line, revealing his broad white shoulders, the well-defined back muscles, and the graceful and smooth lines...
The man's solid and perfect back, however, showed a fragile beauty due to a few bleeding scars.
Just one glance and Jiang Wantang's heart beat faster. She turned around with a flushed face.
She was just a little girl after all, and had never seen such a scene before.
Xie Zhiyan turned around and looked at the shy little fox. A hint of smile appeared in his deep eyes. He asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
